Jamie Lee Curtis Apologizes for ‘Stupid’ Marvel Dig

Jamie Lee Curtis is taking back her the (Hawkeye-esque) arrow she slung at Marvel.

The Academy Award winner went viral for a clip in which she said the MCU was in a “bad” phase. The statement was part of a Comic-Con interview with MTV’s Josh Horowitz during which Curtis and her “Borderlands” co-stars played Marvel trivia.

Now, Curtis has apologized to both Marvel and CEO Kevin Feige directly.

“My comments about Marvel were stupid and I will do better,” Curtis wrote. “I’ve reached out to Kevin Feige and will no longer play in that mud-slinging sandbox of competition we call the internet nor will I engage in the toilet-paper promotion or game play that is designed for clicks not content.”

Curtis previously drummed up “a little friendly competition” between A24 indie “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and Marvel’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” in 2022. Both films dealt with the concept of the multiverse. In a series of Instagram posts, Curtis claimed “Everything Everywhere All at Once” cost “less than the entire craft service budget” on “Doctor Strange 2” — or any other Marvel movie.

At the time, Curtis also clarified it was all in jest.

“I have nothing against Marvel as an entity. I’ve seen a lot of Marvel movies,” Curtis told People . “What I was talking about is that ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ was a little movie that could … and we were able to tell a multiverse story that really touched people. What I was trying to talk about was it doesn’t have to be a Marvel movie in order to be a spectacle and to really move you.”

Curtis further said that she would be open to starring in Marvel film if the role was right.

“Honestly, I can’t imagine that they will ever come calling because I kicked up some dust,” Curtis said. “But I’m a collaborating artist. I work with a lot of people on a lot of different things, and if the role was interesting and if I could bring what I do to it, of course I would. What am I going to do, say no? But, I would find it hard to imagine that Marvel’s going to figure out something to do with a 64-year-old woman. I’m afraid if I do a Marvel movie , they’re going to stick dots all over me and make me act by myself in a warehouse somewhere.”
